Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Evolve, but the data reveals a significant shift in performance characteristics as resolution increases. This combination ranks 432nd out of 1695 tested combos in this title, placing it in the upper quartile of all systems. The measured frames per second across all resolutions and settings paint a clear picture of a system that is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions but becomes more balanced as pixel count rises, with the RTX 3080 Ti’s substantial memory bandwidth and raw compute carrying the load at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K shows a dramatic and predictable drop in frame rates, but the magnitude of that drop varies considerably depending on the quality preset. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 261.5 at 1920x1080 to 177.2 at 2560x1440, then to 98.9 at 3840x2160. This represents a 32.2% reduction when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44.2% reduction when stepping up to 4K. The cumulative drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 62.2%, indicating that while the RTX 3080 Ti is powerful, the sheer pixel count at 4K still imposes a heavy workload.

At Ultra settings, the scaling pattern is similar but with shallower relative declines. The average FPS drops from 111.6 at 1080p to 75.5 at 1440p (a 32.3% reduction) and then to 40.7 at 4K (a 46.1% reduction from 1440p). The overall decline from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 63.5%, which is nearly identical to the Low-settings drop. This consistency across presets strongly suggests that the limiting factor at 4K is the GPU’s fillrate and shading capacity rather than the CPU, as the relative performance penalty remains stable regardless of the graphical workload.

The data shows that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-limited at lower settings. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p is 200.6 FPS versus 261.5 FPS, a 23.3% reduction, while the jump from Medium to High is a much smaller 19.3% reduction to 161.9 FPS. The progression from High to Ultra yields only a 31.1% drop to 111.6 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that at 1080p Low, the CPU (with its 6 cores and 12 threads) is approaching its limit, preventing the GPU from fully stretching its legs. However, at 1440p and 4K, the scaling between settings becomes more linear, confirming that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Evolve?

A: Based on the measured data, 2560x1440 offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At High settings, the system delivers 107.7 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K High drops to 59.5 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

Q: What FPS can I expect at 1080p with High settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 161.9. This is comfortably above the refresh rate of most high-Hz monitors, making this setting a viable option for competitive play.

Q: Does the system maintain 60 FPS at 4K?

A: Only at Low settings does the system exceed 60 FPS at 3840x2160, achieving 98.9 FPS. Medium settings drop to 77.3 FPS, while High settings yield 59.5 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS target. Ultra settings fall to 40.7 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: The combination ranks 432nd out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the top 25.5% of all configurations tested for this game.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting 60 FPS at 4K, the data indicates that High settings are the maximum viable option, delivering 59.5 FPS. Dropping to Medium settings provides a 29.9% performance uplift to 77.3 FPS, which is a substantial margin of safety for maintaining a stable frame rate. Ultra settings at 4K are not recommended, as the 40.7 FPS average will result in noticeable stuttering and a suboptimal experience.

At 1440p, the system is much more capable. High settings yield 107.7 FPS, which is excellent for most users. For those with 144Hz or higher refresh rate monitors, dropping to Medium settings (138 FPS) provides a 28.1% improvement in frame rate, while Low settings push to 177.2 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p are playable at 75.5 FPS, but the visual gains over High may not justify the 29.9% performance cost.

For 1080p, the system is capable of pushing very high frame rates. High settings at 161.9 FPS are ideal for competitive play, while Medium settings at 200.6 FPS and Low settings at 261.5 FPS cater to esports enthusiasts with high refresh rate displays. Ultra settings at 111.6 FPS are also viable, providing a solid visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS spans from 261.5 at Low settings to 111.6 at Ultra. The progression is: Low 261.5, Medium 200.6 (a 23.3% reduction), High 161.9 (a 19.3% reduction), and Ultra 111.6 (a 31.1% reduction). This shows that the most significant performance hit occurs when moving from High to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 177.2 at Low to 75.5 at Ultra. The progression is: Low 177.2, Medium 138 (a 22.1% reduction), High 107.7 (a 22.0% reduction), and Ultra 75.5 (a 29.9% reduction). The scaling here is more consistent than at 1080p, with each step incurring a similar relative penalty.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 98.9 at Low to 40.7 at Ultra. The progression is: Low 98.9, Medium 77.3 (a 21.8% reduction), High 59.5 (a 23.0% reduction), and Ultra 40.7 (a 31.6% reduction). The reduction from High to Ultra is the most severe across all resolutions, indicating that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are particularly demanding at 4K.
